Haynes King not included. 3 ACC QB's on the list. National perception of Haynes is not very high. Are we still that disrespected as a program? if so time to change the narrative.

Our overall game plan ( zero interceptions, no fumbles, run the ball and throw short passes) was pretty conservative.

King was injured for most of the season. Places liek on3 are just looking for clicks and do the most cursory of glances beyond stats. As given that they have carson beck at 7 when it was very obvious that his numbers last year were only because of generation talent to throw to.

King was very efficient, King threw for the 13th most yards of the ACC QBs. He threw the 12th most TDs. Those stats won't get you much love going forward. Obviously he was injured for a good chunk of the season. Until he proves he is fully healthy as a QB he won't be rated real high.
After the 2023 season when he put up big numbers he was viewed as one of the ACC's best QBs.

That was this year. I meant the year that got him rated that high to begin with.

I think King suffers on the reliability front. He misses a lot of time with injuries and plays a lot while he is still injured. While I give him high marks for guts and fortitude, he just does not seem to be able to sustain his health in order to maximize his productivity. I think our coaching staff needs to really pour development time into Philo, Knowles and Adamson this off season. Play King if he is healthy but don't keep trotting him out there when he is playing at less than 90 %. Both for his good and the good of the team. I hope he comes back full strength and plays the whole season at full strength, but based on the past, that is most likely not going to happen. I think that factors into his ratings by the National media, and of course Georgia Tech gets little to no respect on that front anyway.

It is really difficult for King to stay healthy based on the number of runs in RPO (or designed QB runs) and his desire to take hits for extra yards versus going down. I appreciate his effort and courage but I think from an injury perspective, it is to his detriment.

Assume you watch the games.
On what play was he injured.
Folks very close to him say it was at end of unc - and would skip vt and rehab during bye.
Sure is tough being the gt qb.

Tough player in an offensive system designed around his strengths. He was injured close to 1/2 the season.

He lasted thru 6 games and most of 7th ( unc).
Pyron lasted thru 1 game ( nd).
Do you agree King recovered by uga?

No I think King was still hurt against UGA. That added to the heroism he displayed by gutting it out and staying in the whole game. I think toward the end of the game and into the OT's his mobility and throwing accuracy declined to the point it actually hurt our chances of winning.

Isn’t King’s shoulder injury due to throwing not taking contact on runs?

I don't believe King was as healthy for the UGA game as he was in 2023, not even close to that level. I hope he is back to that level for the 2025 season. Regardless there are very few college players who give their all as King does whenever he is on the field regardless of how banged up he is. The young man is one of the toughest players to ever play for GT. Huge respect for King!

King makes plays to help win football games something I wish Penn State had. King is a playmaker regardless of how the plays come.

My son played and played as hard as he could when hurt. He was much like all players that when he was at less than 95% , replacements were a better option. As a coach on the field he drives the offense around any team limitations.
Maybe he should have not comeback for uga or bowl since per posters that at the end "he was hurting the team".
Our problem is the scheme requires a running qb.
I do know our players are ptting in the work. He was not planning on surgery.
I think (need devine help us find 2 starting tackles and a center), King will be ready.
He gave Key his word that he will do all he can to win championship.
